"Using Git on the terminal using the command line is, by far, the preferred way to interact with repos. Why? Transparency: You see exactly what's happening. Speed: Fewer clicks, no mouse gymnastics. Scriptability: Automate repetitive tasks. Portability: Works the same across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Less mess ups: If we're honest, this is actually the main reason -so many people have had bad IDE/Git GUI experiences that many prefer the CLI"
"Somewhere on your computer, create a github.com directory to organize your GitHub repositories. Inside that directory, create a subdirectory for your GitHub user. mkdir github.comcd github.commkdir your-namecd your-name Clone your own repos and forks to your subdirectory. Create subdirectories for other users and orgs whose repos you clone. For example, if you clone a repo from github.com/YakDriver, create a YakDriver directory inside github.com. Then clone the YakDriver repo inside the YakDriver directory."
Command-line Git offers clear visibility into actions, faster workflows, automation through scripts, consistent behavior across macOS, Linux, and Windows, and fewer accidental mistakes than many GUI tools. The hands-on workflow covers creating a tidy local directory structure (a top-level github.com folder with per-user or per-org subfolders), creating a new repository on github.com (optionally adding README, license, and .gitignore), cloning the repository into the appropriate local subdirectory, making local changes, and pushing those changes to the remote. Knowing how to use the CLI prevents unexpected IDE behavior and enables repeatable, portable processes. Three prerequisites are required before starting.
